1: A Twitter Account.
Before you can try to make any money through this platform you will need to sign up and join it.
So firstly visit twitter.com and create your account. It’s simple to sign up too. You only need your email and away you go.
The 3 ways to make money once inside!
- Your tweets
- Comment on others tweets
- Private message
If only it was that simple right!
A note of warning: Twitter doesn’t like repeat messages so if you copy and paste your messages, over and over you will get your account suspended.
That’s said if you are smart about your tweets it is possible to make some money.
Will this happen instantly probably not, you need to send out more than one message to make this happen.
The more messages you send the more chances you have. You just never know who is interested in what you are promoting.
How do you actually make money?
The money you make will be through the links you place with your tweets. This leads the customer to a product or service and if they buy through that link you earn a commission.
This is part of what is called Affiliate Marketing where you place a link somewhere on the internet and that link leads people to a service or product you are promoting.
Now if someone reads your tweets with your links and click on that link it has the potential to make you some money
If you are not sure what a link is keep reading I will get to that soon.
In the picture below is a recent tweet from me as an example.
As you can see I am sharing what the message is about and above the red arrow I add my link to where I want to send anyone who is interested in what I am offering.
My tweet that I sent out and it’s contained the first way to make money through twitter – with the link, which is attached to a product or service, where it will have the potential to make money through a commission.
Private message: The second way to make money is this.
You can send a private message to anyone who uses twitter on their account. This way works better if you message them first with a hello message and a little lighthearted chat.
You build up a rapport with them and then you can send a message with a link if you think they would be interested.
Comment on other people’s tweets: money-making method number three.
Find someone tweets that interest you or that you think will fit into what you are trying to promote, and comment on it again placing the link on your tweet. You will see people commenting all the time on all sorts of things. Drop your own comments and tweets with links. Do this in a kind way it is more appealing to others.
People have become used to spamming so it is better to take a slow and careful approach. Don’t just send out links you need to become a master craftsman with your tweets. This will happen for you the more you do it.
Where to get your links if you have no website?
Many businesses online have what we know as an affiliate program, within their program you can promote and market any of their products and services that they offer. In return for you doing this, they pay you a commission for your efforts.
Anyone can join these affiliate programs and most of them are free to join.
